One thing I’ve noticed since starting these Home Style Saturdays posts is how quickly the weeks pass. Life speeds by so fast that when I was out of town recently I forgot to schedule the post — the weekend slipped right past me. I’ve since published last week’s Home Style Saturdays edition, so you can catch up on that one.
With time moving at such a pace, I’m trying harder to slow down and live each week with more intention. In my book Dwelling I write about the importance of caring for the whole person — mind, body and soul — as well as the spaces we live in. It’s difficult to truly care for yourself when you’re constantly rushing to tend to everything else first.
After many seasons of feeling anxious, depleted, or run down (I’ve lived with Hashimoto’s and symptoms of hypothyroidism for decades), I’m especially mindful about noticing how I feel and making adjustments. Slowing down gives me the space to respond thoughtfully and protect my health and wellbeing.
Taking gentle care of yourself, even in small ways, can make a meaningful difference.
I hope you’ll be able to slow down and take some time for YOU this weekend, friend! <3
